How to choose replacement windows in South Burlington, VT

January 19, 2016

We can’t reiterate it enough that replacement windowsare
a sound investment in your home. Not only because they provide
you with a view to the outside world, but because they could
help you be more energy efficient and can bring a lot of charm
to a room or your home.

All that being said, there are a couple
things that you need to realize when trying to determine
which replacement windows are right for you, your home, and
your budget.

Things you’ll likely run
in to while searching for replacement windows:

Sash:
the frame that holds the glass and is moveable for functionality.

Muntins:
the strips of wood or metal that divide light and give you
a traditional look.

Mull:
when two or more replacement windows are joined together.

What to think about:

Placement. Depending on the window
style, you’ll have to account for different space needs depending on how they
move. Be sure to remember both interior and exterior space when choosing
replacement windows so you get the most out of them.

Ventilation. One of the main
uses of replacement windows is ventilation, but not all areas
of your home need to have ventilation so keep this in
mind when planning out the placement of replacement
windows for the rooms of your home.

Style. Certain
material types might be better suited for your home and décor in South Burlington than others, so make certain to keep this in mind as you peruse all of the options available to you.

Of course there are a host
of other factors that will be considered in your
decision regarding replacement windows, but these are a handful
to start you on the right track. If at any point you have questions in regards
